Re: V6 Tuner Glitch
This is a well-reported situation, caused by the TiVo software flushing the tuner buffer prior to starting to record a program on the same channel.
It is currently working as designed, perhaps a legacy of the ‘old’ TiVo only having three tuners.
You are correct, especially with six tuners, that this logic could be changed on V6 to check if the tuner is paused on the same channel as the upcoming recording and to use a different tuner for the recording if one is available.
I don’t know if this change has been requested of Virgin Media.
